Wheat Yields in Kapisa Increase by 2% This Year

Officials from Kapisa’s Agriculture Department report that this solar year, the total wheat harvest in the province reached 45,691 metric tons, marking a 2% increase compared to last year. According to these officials, wheat was cultivated on 12,353 hectares of irrigated land and 300 hectares of rain-fed land this year. This production volume has been able to meet about 40% of the wheat demand of Kapisa’s residents. The Kapisa Agriculture Department attributes the yield increase to the use of improved seeds, the application of chemical fertilizers, pest control measures, and the organization of technical training programs for farmers. Officials believe that continued technical support for farmers can have a positive long-term impact on the growth of agricultural production in the province.
